MRO Sabena Technics has gained Part 145-approval from the
French Civil Aviation Authority covering the A350.

passenger doors (after finishing wing-rib modifications) on the manufacturer's
behalf.

and its connectivity systems so we could come up with solutions especially
designed for A350 operators.”
